Importance of Accurate Material Estimates
Ordering too little material causes delays and extra delivery fees; ordering too much wastes money and creates disposal issues. Florida’s sandy soil and climate require precise amounts for successful landscaping.
Calculate cubic yards needed to avoid shortages or excess. Double-check measurements and calculations for accuracy.
How to Measure Your Property
- Rectangular areas: Volume = Length × Width × Depth
- Circular areas: Volume = π × radius² × depth
- Irregular shapes: Divide into smaller shapes, calculate separately, then sum volumes
Consider slopes, drainage, and obstacles for accurate measurements.
